Q. |33x+44|=1616\newline\newlineQuestion Help: \newline◻ Video\newlineSubmit Question
  1. Understand absolute value equation: Understand the absolute value equation.\newlineAbsolute value equations have two possible solutions because the expression inside the absolute value can be either positive or negative to equal 1616.\newline3x+4=16|3x + 4| = 16
  2. Set up separate equations: Set up two separate equations to solve. 3x+4=163x + 4 = 16 and 3x+4=163x + 4 = -16
  3. Solve first equation: Solve the first equation 3x+4=163x + 4 = 16.\newline3x=1643x = 16 - 4\newline3x=123x = 12\newlinex=123x = \frac{12}{3}\newlinex=4x = 4
  4. Solve second equation: Solve the second equation 3x+4=163x + 4 = -16.3x=1643x = -16 - 43x=203x = -20x=203x = \frac{-20}{3}x=6.67x = -6.67
